This phrase indicates God's sovereign control over nations and rulers. The context is the period of the Babylonian Empire's expansion, around the early 6th century BC. Nebuchadnezzar is referred to as "My servant," which highlights that God uses even pagan kings to fulfill His purposes, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/44-28.htm">Isaiah 44:28</a> with Cyrus. This reflects the biblical theme that God raises and deposes kings (<a href="/daniel/2-21.htm">Daniel 2:21</a>). The "lands" refer to the nations surrounding Judah, including Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon, as mentioned earlier in <a href="/jeremiah/27.htm">Jeremiah 27</a>. This was a time of political upheaval, and God was using Babylon as an instrument of judgment against these nations, including Judah, for their disobedience and idolatry.I have even made the beasts of the field subject to him. This phrase emphasizes the extent of Nebuchadnezzar's dominion, suggesting a comprehensive rule that includes not just people but all creation within the lands. This echoes the dominion mandate given to humanity in <a href="/genesis/1-28.htm">Genesis 1:28</a>, showing a temporary fulfillment through Nebuchadnezzar. It also foreshadows the ultimate reign of Christ, who will have dominion over all creation (<a href="/philippians/2-10.htm">Philippians 2:10</a>). The mention of "beasts of the field" can symbolize the totality of control and the peace that comes with a ruler's authority, as seen in prophetic visions like <a href="/isaiah/11-6.htm">Isaiah 11:6-9</a>, where harmony in creation is restored. This also serves as a reminder of God's ultimate authority over all creation, as He can delegate power to whomever He chooses, even to a foreign king like Nebuchadnezzar.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a> A prophet called by God to deliver His messages to the people of Judah and the surrounding nations.

The special stress laid on "the beasts of the field" is, perhaps, connected with the resistance of the nations to the levies made by the Babylonian officers upon their horses and cattle, or their claim to use the land they had subdued, after the manner which we see depicted on Assyrian sculptures, as a hunting-ground.
